So with the 8 second use timer, how does that work with interrupts? The idea was that tanks would no longer have to solo fights so I'm kinda wondering if it ignores casting interruption.

Tanks and melees will most likely be unable to stop the mob from interrupting them unless they're wildly out of range, the boss is busy casting something/untargetable or a similar case. Casters without a raise can use Surecast to prevent attacks from interrupting their casts.


Ideally, one of the DPS would rush to raise the healer while the tank holds the boss, or the DPS would take turns to take hits while one resses, swap, then the other DPS resses too.

Nope, you can machine gun raises (as long as MP allows) while the phoenix feather can only do it once before it goes on a long cooldown. RDMs are still an invaluable asset in many parties! :D

Res Mage is still valuable if more than 1 person goes down.

Res mage can also do some amount of actual healing if the situation is really dire.

It works like all of Square's bandaid fixes to problems: it doesnt

Seems like another small blow to what remains of healer class identity.

Unless Healer identity consists of "dead body on the floor", I'd say they should be safe. For now anyway.
